The Land Transportation Office announced on Tuesday that vehicles impounded for operating illegally as public utility vehicles, known as “colorum,” cannot be released without a court order, even if the fines have been paid by the owners.
“The illegal operation of colorum vehicles in our country has been a long-standing problem. We need to implement a heavier punishment to show to the people, who continue to violate the law, that our government is serious about putting an end to their modus operandi,” Mendoza stated. While these vehicles are typically found in rural and remote areas, recent reports suggest a significant rise in their numbers within Metro Manila and nearby regions.
